A slanted, calligraphic serif style with brush-like, tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals. Letterforms show lively stroke modulation and a hand-drawn rhythm, with narrow proportions and compact lowercase bodies relative to tall ascenders and descenders. Curves are slightly irregular in a natural way, and many joins and endings finish with gentle hooks or flicks, creating a textured, ink-on-paper feel. Spacing appears relatively tight, and the overall color is dark and continuous despite the varied stroke endings.
Best suited for display use such as book and magazine headings, posters, packaging accents, and event materials where a handcrafted elegance is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, while longer text will benefit from generous sizing and line spacing due to the narrow, lively shapes and tight rhythm.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a touch of dramatic flourish—suggesting handwritten formal notes, bookish headings, and vintage-inspired display typography. Its movement and tapered strokes feel expressive and human, balancing refinement with a slightly whimsical, storybook character.
The design appears intended to capture formal calligraphic handwriting in a consistent, typeset-ready form—prioritizing expressive stroke endings, elegant slant, and distinctive silhouettes for headline impact.
Uppercase forms lean toward classical inscriptional shapes but are interpreted through a more informal brush-pen hand, yielding distinctive silhouettes. Numerals follow the same tapered logic and feel integrated with the alphabet, with a slightly decorative presence suited to display settings.
